About AVPQ

AVPQ is a growing community of people who support those actively
seeking nonviolent solutions to conflict. Members share experiences,
skills, information and their time.
It is a multicultural, independent, non-profit association of trained volunteers,
offering experiential workshops that can help people to change their lives.

Some groups who support us in Brisbane are Brisbane Youth Service,
the Valley PCYC, In-Sync (part of Spiritus), Matthew Stanley Foundation, Lotus Place,
Avid Reader Bookshop.

AVPQ offers the following workshops:

Community
workshops, where individuals and groups can gain a fresh approach
to conflict resolution.

Prison

lead to more socially integrated lives.Workshops
for groups and organisations to promote team-building, and develop
attitudes that build trust and avoid competitive conflict.

For information on how you can join the worldwide
family of AVP and get involved in AVPQ activities locally, see

AVPQ has no religious affiliation and is non-political. It draws
its participants and facilitators from all continents of the globe,
from different cultures, faiths and walks of life. The AVP philosophy
is grounded in spirituality and in the belief that there is a power
for peace and good in everyone. We believe this power has the ability
to transform violence. For more information, see our Philosophy
Page.

Alternatives to Violence Projects (AVP) can be found
in all States and Territories of Australia, and in over 50 countries
around the world.
